Cinco de Mayo Fiesta Day

I, Yi, Yi, Yi, Yi (I Like You Very Much). Did you know this song was/is a 1941 song.? It was written for the 1941 film, That Night in Rio, and was popularized by Carmen Miranda. The lyrics were written by Mack Gordon and the music by Harry Warren. Just a little Cinco de Mayo trivia for ya.

And since today is a Fiesta kind of day, let’s do as they do…

This recipe is a feast fit for King! Ole…

We start out with Chips and Salsa, then move onto the Main course of Beef Enchiladas with refried beans and Spanish rice. YUM
